i did run RCA to the A1400-8. I found the the options with regards to the audio offered by my 5300ES were limited. the sound did improved with the A1400-8, but i wasn't able to adjust Midrange. i am sure the D2 handles that better. As long as i have HDMI 1.3a to handle the XV color, video is okay. I am sure a slight improvement from the D2 will also be visable here.

thank you for your reply.
